Final answer:

Rory can type 9 reports in 2 hours if each report is 800 words long.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many reports Rory can type in 2 hours, we need to calculate the total number of words Rory can type in 2 hours first. Since Rory types 60 words per minute, to find out how many words Rory can type in 2 hours, we need to multiply the words typed per minute by the minutes in 2 hours:

Total words typed in 2 hours = 60 words/minute * 120 minutes = 7200 words

Now, to find out how many reports Rory can type, we divide the total number of words typed by the number of words in each report:

Number of reports = Total words typed / Words per report = 7200 words / 800 words/report = 9 reports
